Moersleutel / 6 Years Tom

Tom is the second oldest brother and works a few streets away from the brewery at Zomerdijk Engineering. As you may know by now, we’re not only brewers but also build machines that breweries need. Tom is chief of Zomerdijk Engineering.

It's not often, but sometimes Tom carries a whisky bottle around, taking little sips during our vrijmibo's. We caught him once sipping on a fancy american rye whisky.

That conversation led us to beer - it does, always, end up in beer - and rye wine. We've never brewed this style before, so this homage to Tom was the best excuse we could find.

This turned out to be a strong, dry and vinous rye wine for which we used a unique crystal rye malt. Giving it a red hue and strong, spicy character, just like Tom.

Brewed with barley and rye to give a full texture. And with 10% still on the somewhat safe side to prepare you for the three more anniversary beers to come. Just don’t underestimate it’s power…
